Abstract

Following Jesus has risks that must be faced. Everyone who will enter into fellowship with Him will be challenged. That challenge to “take up the cross” was presented by Jesus when He was in the world. Everyone who follows Him, will experience suffering. The suffering faced is not the result of a grievous error, but because of the differences between the self-gratifying normal of the previous situation to the self-denying that Jesus calls us too. A person is required to imitate Jesus in facing the various suffering from self-denying that results from his fellowship with Jesus. A person who can endure suffering will continue to be in fellowship with Jesus. Fortitude in dealing with such situations will lead to similarity with Jesus. Similarity is an important part of fellowship with Jesus.

Abstract

This article examines the theological significance of the Hebrew term שָׁבָה (shavah) in the Book of Ruth, particularly in Ruth 1:22 and Ruth 2:6, where it is uniquely attributed to Ruth. Lexically, the root שׁוּב (shuv), from which שָׁבָה is derived, generally denotes “to return” and is typically used for a subject returning to a place of origin. However, within the narrative, its application to Ruth, a Moabite woman who does not geographically originate from Bethlehem, creates a semantic tension that invites deeper theological reflection. This study employs a qualitative method with a biblical exegetical approach to analyse the lexical function, narrative context, and theological implications of the term. The findings indicate that the designation of Ruth as הַשָׁבָה does not merely describe geographical movement, but reflects a transformation of identity and faith. The term situates Ruth within Naomi’s process of “return,” while expanding its meaning into an existential and theological act. Furthermore, Moab’s genealogical connection to Israel reinforces the view that Ruth’s action represents reintegration into the community of God’s people.
